Stop a live stream

To Stop a live stream you need to send an HTTP POST request to the API Endpoint, with the authentication Header.

https://app.tpstreams.com/api/v1/<organization_id>/assets/<str:asset_id>/stop_live_stream/

This will stop the specified live stream

For valid requests the API server returns a JSON:

{
    "message": "Live stream stopped successfully",
    "trim_scheduled": false
}

Schedule Trim After Live Stream

You can optionally add trim parameters to the stop API request body to schedule a trim operation that will be executed after the live stream recording is completed and transcoded. This allows you to trim the recorded video directly when stopping the live stream.

Fields for Trim Scheduling

Name	Type	Description	Required
start_time	integer	Start time in seconds from the beginning of the recording	Yes (for trim)
end_time	integer	End time in seconds from the beginning of the recording	Yes (for trim)

Sample request body with trim scheduling

{
    "start_time": 30,
    "end_time": 120
}

info

When scheduling a trim:

• Both start_time and end_time are required
• Both must be non-negative integers
• start_time must be less than end_time
• end_time cannot exceed the total duration of the live stream recording
• The trim operation will be executed automatically after transcoding completes

Response with trim scheduled

{
    "message": "Live stream stopped successfully",
    "trim_scheduled": true
}

info

If the value of the parameter "transcode_recorded_video" is set to true, you will receive the video object in the webhook response.

Sample webhook response is as follows
